How far is that Paul?

At the extreme distance you could be looking at close to 5,700 miles if it were Canada.
Haha, in your terms a short walk away then as I'm in UK! Should have been delivered to Liverpool on June 1st, I get an email (which I didn't pick up until end of day after work), telling me they landed in Southampton on May 27th!! Then told they would deliver up here in two days but need to pay all costs first. Told the shipping agent it's too short notice as I need to organize offloading and the storage is closed Friday's and Saturdays!! They got bit irate saying anytime after Saturday 4th I will have to pay storage, which isn't my fault as dropped in wrong port. Let's just say both sides got very irate!😂
In the end I got storage to open Saturday, transport said they will take direct there and offload (only when I pointed out it was closer than Liverpool, where they were originally going to take it to, then charge me transport front there to my storage!!!), and got few bodies to help offload!
I'm just glad they here now, been a long difficult ride!
